Wrong Water Temperature
•
Too Hot/Too Cold; since this product uses a low
amount of water, the board regulates the incom-
ing flow to temper the actual temperature of the
water in the tub. This may appear to be
significantly warmer/cooler than expected.
•
Are both faucets on fully?
•
Make sure temperature selection is correct.
•
Make sure hoses are connected to correct
faucets and inlet connections. Flush water line
before filling washer.
•
Check the water heater. It should be set to
deliver a minimum 120°F (49°C) hot water at the
tap. Also check water heater capacity and
recovery rate.
•
If the water heater is located a long distance from
washer, water line may need to be purged prior to
starting wash cycle.
•
Disconnect inlet hoses and clean screens.
•
This washer can sense if the fill hoses have been
reversed between hot and cold. If the fill hoses on
the washer were previously installed incorrectly
and then corrected, the washer will need to be
run through a Hot / Cold cycle. If not resolved,
check for proper resistance on the water valve
thermistor.
